God is truly amazing!!

Mom's had a pretty great day!!

She's able to move her toes and lift her arms. Still working on squeezing her hand back when you squeeze hers but the doctors say that's normal. She was saying very few words.

Cristi sent the following text to me earlier today:
"She was trying to talk earlier and said Thursday. I told her what day it was. She did her eye brows a few times. I asked her if she was trying to figure everything out and she shook her head yes. So I told her that she had pneumonia and that her kidneys weren't working well. The more she coughed the better."

She's still coming off of the sedative and was awake most of the day. She had a 3 hour dialysis treatment today as well.
The dialysis lady said that depending on her numbers they may or may not be back tomorrow. The numbers looked good today after her one treatment yesterday.

I happened to call dad a few minutes ago and he was with her so Liberty and I were able to say hi. When Liberty told her, "I love you so so so so so much" (Nana's thing with the kids) dad said she spoke the words, "I love you". I got quite choked up because you could hear the bit of excitement in dads voice when he told Liberty and I that those were the first words he's heard her say today!

God is truly amazing! He continues to give us all strength daily. We know this is only the beginning of the road to recovery, but we are so blessed that He is on our side!

Until the next update in the morning...pray that the dialysis continues to work and the x-rays show improvement in her pneumonia.

God Bless!

Strength… #forthewrightreasons

August 21, 2019…it was just another time of crazy happening…this time to fix the 99% blockage in your heart. I was scared.  The odds were stacked against you. It was then that you held me in your arms, and comforted me instead of the other way around. You told me during that embrace that you weren’t scared of the outcome because either way you would be healed on earth or healed and in Heaven. My anxiety was so high and you held me as I cried…you did everything you could to reassure me that there was so much peace in your mind and heart and you showed me what true strength looked like.  We took this picture, because I was afraid it would be the last time I would get to see you. Through my tears you comforted me, as any mother would, but that day, you showed me what compassion felt like. You fought so hard those next few days - especially the next, when you coded from losing so much blood...you fought so hard the following 6 months for everything to be the best you could make it...

Holding hands...

I must say that I admire a child's heart. My oldest daughter, Liberty, asked if there was a way to hold Nana's hand when she prayed for her. I told her no...we were in Dallas, mom in Austin and knowing that even if we were in Austin, Liberty is not allowed in ICU due to her age. Some time had passed when she came bouncing into the living room..."Mom...can Cristi take a picture of Nana's hand? Then I can hold it anytime I want!" Oh, my!! After wiping my tears, I asked Cristi to do just that...so, if you'd like to also hold my mother's hand while praying for her...here you go! Comments:

January 6, 2013

Mom was finally moved to an intermediate care room last night as she continues on the path to recovery. The results of her cat scan from the other evening were good - confirmed no stroke. However, her speech is still slow and you can tell she's confused so they did an EEG today. She's having some difficulty answering some simple questions such as 2+2, her birthday, and what month it is. She does know that its 2013 but I think thats only because we told her (a few days ago though...). She did tell me on Friday that she doesn't understand... "can't fathom 2013". We went to see her today on our way home. The kids (Trey, Morgan, Liberty, Hailey, & Brooklyn) finally got to see her as well! We are hoping that it will help with her recovery. She did perk up just a bit but not like I had hoped. However...I still have hope as she had a pretty exhausting day with the EEG test. She looked tired! She's not sleeping very well...she told dad a few days ago that she...
